=={{Icons|Overview}} Appearance==

''Ambush''’s 2nd version takes the appearance of a less glitchy and more realistic face, with red shading as it’s eyes and mouth are both blood red. It has was looks to be a red appendage sticking out the bottom, and looking like a blood like ghost.

''Ambush''’s oldest version is similar to version 2, but with pupils, a dark red “fire” under it, and with no teeth.

*spawn during [[Seek#Behavior|Seek's]] crescendo.

*As of March 15, 2024, it can be observed that ''Ambush'' deals 100 [[damage]], which means that it technically does not instantly kill players; if a player has an "over-heal" from a [[Vial of Starlight]], [[Bottle of Starlight]], or [[Jug of Starlight]], they will be able to survive a hit from ''Ambush''. The "Cough Drop" [[candy]] can also give the player enough overheal to survive.

**When the Hotel+ Update released on January 28, 2023, it could spawn as early as Door 2.<ref>https://www.speedrun.com/roblox_doorsce/runs/m7267j9z<nowiki/>Ambush% WR after Hotel+ but before the change.

*Although it is likely that ''Ambush'' will spawn at least once in a full run, it is possible to complete the game without encountering ''Ambush''. In contrast, ''Ambush'' can spawn up to 2, 3, or even 4 times in a single run.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apD6PcX_OPE</ref>

*Entering Halt's [[The Dining Hall|Dining Hall]] or [[The Bridges]] will despawn ''Ambush'' (unless the "Again & Again & Again" [[Modifiers|modifier]] is enabled).

*Similar to [[Rush]], ''Ambush''<nowiki/>'s hitbox operates off of ray-casting. This means that aside from intended [[hiding]] places, players can "hide" from ''Ambush'' by being in an area that is outside of its line of "sight," such as basements, blocked stairwells, sub-rooms, or behind or beside certain objects, or anywhere beyond its ray-casting distance. These areas are known as "safe spots."

*This may not work in th<nowiki/>e open as Ambush's hitbox is much farther then Rush's.

**Safe spots can also be applied to Rush.

**''Ambush'' (as well as Rush) is able to randomly deviate (including passing through walls) from the "path" it is intended to travel on, which is known as a "path bug." This may cause its ray-casting to enter safe spots, causing any players using those spots to die.

**''Ambush''<nowiki/>'s ray-casting origin is higher than that of Rush's, meaning that certain safe spots, such as crouching behind fallen bookshelves and beside beds, will protect players from Rush, but not from ''Ambush''.

***To reduce their chance of [[Death Screen|death]], players should crouch while using "shorter" safe spots (e.g. luggage carts) to hide from ''Ambush''. This is because crouching lowers the height of their "HumanoidRootPart", which is ''Ambush''<nowiki/>'s ray-cast destination.

**Previously, ''Ambush''<nowiki/>'s ray-casting distance was much larger than that of Rush. However, soon after [[The Mines]] Update, ''Ambush''<nowiki/>' ray-casting was changed to be smaller and much closer in size to Rush's ray-casting distance.

**Ambush also has a <nowiki/>mechanic that is NOT part of raycasting that Rush does not have. You cannot look at Ambush unless in a <nowiki/>hiding spot (e.g. a Closet) or you'll take 100 damage, even if you're in a safe spot.

*''Ambush'' '''cannot''' spaw<nowiki/>n in the following rooms:

**Rooms with insufficient hiding spots (Can spawn with certain [[Modifiers]] or if number of players exceed 4)

**Doors 1, 49, 51, 88

**[https://doors-game.fandom.com/wiki/The_Hotel#Dark_Rooms Dark rooms], including [[the Greenhouse]] which comprises Doors 90-99 (Can spawn with certain Modifiers)

*The lighting will dim slightly when ''Ambush'' is close to a room a player is in. The same goes for Rush.

*''Ambush'' will shake the screen the closer you are to it.

*Before the Hotel+ Update, the lights flickered when ''Ambush'' spawned. After the Hotel+ Update, the lights no longer flickered when ''Ambush'' spawned. In The Mines, the lights flicker when ''Ambush'' spawns, and an earthquake starts, similar to when Rush spawns in The Mines.

*Before the Hotel+ Update, ''Ambush'' would spawn immediately when players opened the door that spawned it. As of the Hotel+ Update, the spawn timi<nowiki/>ng for Ambush (and Rush) is randomized, meaning that its spawn may be delayed by a few seconds after a new door is opened.

*''Ambush'' can spawn twice back to back in The Mines.

===[[2023 April Fools Event|Super Hard Mode]]===

*''Ambush'' has a greater chance of spawning earlier in the run.

*''Ambush'' is almost guaranteed to rebound more than 4 times and has the chance to rebound 20+ times.{{Fact}}

===[[2024 April Fools Event|Retro Mode]]===

*''Ambush'' spawns more often.

===Modifiers===

*If the "Again & Again & Again" modifier is enabled, ''Ambush''<nowiki/>'s behavior will change in multiple ways:

**It will first spawn/rebound on Door 7.

**If players [[Crucifix|crucify]] ''Ambush'', its spawn may be temporarily delayed into natural spawns again.{{Fact}}

*If the "Afterimage" modifier is enabled, ''Ambush'' will travel much faster, and its spawn rate will slightly increase.

=={{Icons|Trivia}} Strategy==

*Spawning: In [[Hotel|The Hotel]], ''Ambush'' can spawn as early as Door 2 and as late as Door 87, although it is most likely to spawn after [[The Library]] (Door 50); ''Ambush''<nowiki/>'s chance to spawn, which increases to 6.66% as [[player]]s progress, is somewhat small. ''Ambush'' is likely to spawn at least once in a full run.

** If ''Ambush'' spawns in Doors 2, 3, or 4, or 2-3 rooms after a [[Seek]] chase, [[Halt]]'s sequence, The Library, or [[Glitch]] closing a door, there will be fewer rooms between players and ''Ambush'' than there would be elsewhere. Therefore, ''Ambush'' will rebound more quickly; it is recommended that players prepare to [[Hiding|hide]] from ''Ambush'' more quickly.

**If a player walks into a room with several hiding spots (more than 4), and the lights do not flicker, they should remain vigilant for ''Ambush''<nowiki/>'s spawn cue as it'll be likely to have spawned instead of [[Rush]].

*Hiding: It is recommended players only hide once they hear ''Ambush'' coming through. As long as they do this, they can stay in the closet long enough for ''Ambush'' to rebound once. This can make it significantly easier as it removes the unpredictability of when they will come back, as well as significantly reducing the number of times players must hop in and out of closets.

**Players must hop out quickly afterwards as in some cases if ''Ambush'' takes a longer time to rebound [[Hide]] will be on the verge of kicking them out.

**It is recommended that players do not hide under a bed, because the entering and exiting animations for beds are longer.

**It is recommended that players account for all visible hiding spots whenever they open a new door. This will ensure that they do not die while looking for a hiding spot if ''Ambush'' (or Rush) spawns.

***Hiding behind or beside smaller objects will generally not protect players from ''Ambush''.

**In [[The Mines]], Hide prevents players from hiding in the same hiding place more than once in a row, which means that at least two reachable hiding places are necessary to survive ''Ambush''; players must immediately run to the other hiding spot upon exiting one.

**It is recommended that players equip their crucifix while still attempting to survive ''Ambush'' by hiding or using a safe spot. By this method, players are largely protected from ''Ambush'' and may not necessarily have to use their crucifix to survive it.

***There is a small period (lasting a few frames) when entering and exiting hiding places in which crucifixes will be automatically unequipped (the same goes for all other items). Therefore, players will be vulnerable to ''Ambush'' during that period.

* Although very rarely, Ambush can spawn in Doors 152 in The Mines, and it can take a very long time to rebound. This is because The Nest and The First Seek Chase Rooms are not fully despawned. It is recommended to have a [[Crucifix]] with you just in case.

==Bugs==

*The "Rebound" [[achievement]] was broken and unobtainable after [[Update Logs#August|August 26, 2023]] (the [[Modifiers]] Update). It is now fixed.

*If [[players]] have a weak internet connection or are playing with low graphics settings, ''Ambush''<nowiki/>'s glow may remain in rooms for several seconds until lighting updates.

*At one point, if a player [[Death Screen|died]] to ''Ambush'', its jumpscare sound would loop indefinitely.

**This was due to EchoSoundEffects being applied to ''Ambush''<nowiki/>'s jumpscare even after the sound ceased. It is now fixed.

*When the Hotel+ Update was first released a bug occurred where ''Ambush'' would spawn in the upcoming room instead of the previous room. It would then proceed to rebound in reverse; however, this was fixed shortly after release.

**This bug can still happen if players traveled through many rooms when ''Ambush'' is at the back.

*There was a bug where if you open more doors after ''Ambush'' has done its first rebound, ''Ambush'' will not shatter the lights in the room/s that have just been opened when going through them. ''Ambush'' was most likely only meant to shatter the lights on the first rebound. This is not the case anymore as ''Ambush'' no longer breaks the lights on the first rebound.

* There was a bug where ''Ambush'' did not shatter the lights as it moved. This has been made intentional as of The Mines update.

*There was a bug where coins may protect players from dying to [[Rush]], ''Ambush'', [[The Rooms|A-60]], [[The Rooms|A-120]] and [[The Backdoor|Blitz]]. This has since been patched.

*There is a bug where [[Snare]] may protect players from dying to Rush, ''Ambush'', A-60 and A-120.

*There is currently a bug with the "Again & Again & Again" modifier that allows a player to select this modifier, if a player has "Hotel Hell" [[achievements|achievement]], even if a player does not have the "Unbound" achievement.

*There is a bug where if a player hides in a hiding spot while ''Ambush'' is near it, ''Ambush'' would still be able to kill players.

*There is a bug where if a player opens doors while ''Ambush'' is moving, sometimes ''Ambush'' will skip its normal path and will go in a straight line to the next unopened door.

*There is a very rare bug where if ''Ambush'' kills a player the next door will open. This happens because an invisible part of a player gets flung into the door, causing it to open.

**This bug can also cause unnumbered doors to open or certain cutscenes to activate, such as [[Seek]]'s.

**The same can happen with Blitz and in extremely rare cases with Rush.

*There is a really rare bug since The Backdoor update where ''Ambush'' randomly disappears for a few seconds and appears again where it disappeared. The same can happen with Rush and Blitz.

*''Ambush'' can be delayed when crucified when the "Again & Again & Again" Modifier is activated.

*There is a bug where if ''Ambush'' spawns and there are several opened doors, [[Void]] may manifest, teleporting all players into the latest opened room guaranteeing the death of every player.

*There is a bug that allows you to survive ''Ambush'' in [[The Mines]] by simply opening a drawer and crouching in its hitbox, but it's best not to rely on this as it's not guaranteed to work and will likely be patched in the future. This was most likely patched as of the Content Update.{{Citation Needed}}

*When The Mines update first came out, the "Again & Again & Again" modifier was broken. ''Ambush'' would only spawn at Door 7 and would never come back unless of a normal encounter. This was fixed later.

*''Ambush'' may take up to one minute to rebound, likely due to a bug.<ref>Ambush rebounding after more than one minute, appearing during the Seek chase. https://www.youtube.com/live/QlYKmK3kCm4?si=mYkiZzTVcb5-xLUR&t=9597</ref>

=={{Icons|Trivia}} Trivia==

*''Ambush'' rarely spawns anymore.

*''Ambush'' was originally going to be classified as a "Mobble" [[List of Entities|entity]], an alternative version of [[Jack]].{{Fact}}

*Excluding non-canon entities, ''Ambush'' is the fastest entity in ''[[DOORS]]''. It used to be A-60 before ''Ambush''<nowiki/>'s speed was increased in the Haunt update.

*''Ambush'' is the only entity with multiple "attack" sounds (in which the pitch is always randomly generated, equaling infinite tones{{Fact}}).

*''Ambush''<nowiki/>'s "scream" originates from an audio called [https://www.roblox.com/library/8880765497 GLITCHY SCREAM LOOP] from a user called [https://www.roblox.com/users/1175346963/profile#!/about Condecadence].

*''Ambush''<nowiki/>'s scream is in the form of a Shepard's tone.

*''Ambush''<nowiki/>'s jump-scare appears when [[player]]s try to exploit the game. This version of ''Ambush'' is called "Anti Cheat Ambush."{{Exploiting Inline}}

** Before the [[Update Logs#January|Hotel+ Update]], a unique [[Guiding Light]] message was shown after the jump-scare, which repeated "bruh" multiple times before and after saying that ''Ambush'' has killed a player "infinite" times. ("btw ambush killed you infinite times so all your revives are gone sorry")

***After the Hotel+ Update, the message after the jump-scare is the same message players would receive if they died to ''Ambush'' typically.

**After dying to Anti-cheat ''Ambush'', 100 [[revives]] are removed from player's inventories.

** Anti-cheat ''Ambush'' is used to "trick exploits" into thinking that ''Ambush'' has spawned typically.{{Fact}}

***[[Rush]] and [[Dread]] will spawn as well.{{Fact}}

*Before the Hotel+ Update, ''Ambush'' could, and was likely to, spawn in Doors 90–98.

**After the Hotel+ Update, Doors 90-98 were replaced by [[The Greenhouse]] where Ambush cannot spawn. Because of this, Ambush often spawns between the second [[Seek]] chase and The Greenhouse.

*According to [[RediblesQW]], a ''DOORS'' developer, a future UGC item may be based on ''Ambush''.<ref>[https://twitter.com/RediblesQW/status/1572970317232082949 "(ambush too)"] – Redibles, Twitter</ref>

*According to Ghostly Wowzers, ''Ambush'''s design was not difficult to draw and was mostly drawn in under a day.<ref>[https://doors-game.fandom.com/wiki/Message_Wall:WowzersItsMe?threadId=4400000000000089547#4400000000000270713 Q: "Also, How hard was it designing the Characters (Rush, Ambush and Jack)?" A: "not that hard, they were mostly finished in under a day"] – Ghostly_Wowzers</ref>

*''Ambush''<nowiki/>'s image file is titled “scarywormface”, referencing its 2nd original design.{{Fact}}

*''Ambush''<nowiki/>'s magenta-green glow is present if a player's graphics are set under 3.{{Fact}}

**''Ambush''<nowiki/>'s red aura is only present if a player's graphics are nearly maxed.

*''Ambush''<nowiki/> is currently the only entity with multiple jumpscares.

* In [[The Mines Update|The Mines update]], for unknown reasons, Ambush no longer breaks the lights in the current and previous rooms. However, Ambush still breaks the lights in the next room without lights breaking sound.
